I think your view is biased because yours never get picked. Again, there aren’t a ton of super-original ideas left that wouldn’t be something stupid like “Pink Polka-Dotted Hippotamuses who Love Chocolate Club.” I agree, though, that a lot of really good and even a few completely original ideas get crushed and a lot of horrible forums get chosen. And I agree there are still plenty of original ideas left. I also believe the voting system is stupid and needs modification.

I don’t agree, however, that nobody can, or should try to do, better than an existing forum but with the same concept. Getting angry at which forums win is pretty pointless. Instead, be ****ed off at the voting system and the voters, and do your best to vote fairly and for the ones YOU believe are good.

I have no problem with anyone who thinks my single forum win is a piece of ****, and I have no real problem when someone else’s entry wins. It’s not a a personal insult. It’s a stupid forum idea in a game with a poor voting system and users who often vote in self-interest instead of for quality.

Engrish Lessons was basically a copy of the Great Firewall, Rule Thirty-Fourum is the exact same thing as the Extremely Specific Fetish Emporium, and now the Sweaty Handbook for Virgins is leading?

Read the description for “Sweaty Handbook” and then go look at Sexteen. They are the exact same forum with a different name.

Stop voting for absolute copycats, damnit. We need some originality and the original ideas get downvoted into the effing ground. It’s very special.

A lot of the existing forums suck. With Rule Thirty-Forum, I took an internet meme and clever writing to do something only LOOSELY related to existing forum and did it better. Discussing fetishes is not the same as Rule 34 stuff.

If I see submissions, such as the rather cleverly-written HandBook, which I must say is MUCH better than SexTeen (boring), I’ll upvote them.

If you want to **** at people for submitting and upvoting well-written or funny forums just because they’re based on some “similar concept” of another forum, you’ll quickly find no more entries, or entries about really idiotic things.

If nobody ever made a TV show or movie because “the Simpsons did it,” there’d be no TV.

King of the Hill: The first person to hit 100 scoops gets the flag, the next person to use Destroyer, Thief, Shotgun or bumhole on the person with the flag gets it. Repeat. If you have the flag at the end of the every hour or day or round you get 100 random scoops.

BASHY SAYS: Fun.

Cracker Jacks: Every time you earn a scoop of a designated flava you get a random second scoop

BASHY SAYS: Fun.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Multiplicity: Every time you earn a scoop of a specific flava that week, you get two

BASHY SAYS: Fun, if the flavor changes randomly throughout the round.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Darwin Week: No vanilla scoops can be earned, no cards.

BASHY SAYS: Fine.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

You can’t see me: All “card totals” are hidden. No peekaboos.

BASHY SAYS:Fun.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Lemon Party: Every time you earn a lemon scoop, earn 3.

BASHY SAYS: Fun, if a little simple.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Communism: Everyone starts the week with 100 scoops.

BASHY SAYS: Interesting.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

I’m an bumhole: All cards are disabled, except for bumholes

BASHY SAYS: This would be even more very special than if Roid Rage Week had a kid with the Down’s Syndrome guy from Life Goes On. bumholes are already broken at 10. You can do 20% more damage with the current bumhole than you have worth of scoops. Awesome game design!

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Inflation’s a ****: Cards cost 5 scoops instead of four.

BASHY SAYS: Fine.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Fire Sale: Cards cost 3 scoops instead of four (but when you buy, you can only pick from two).

BASHY SAYS: Fine.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

There’s no going back: You are given 1 card, no choice, you can’t go back, the scoops are spent.

BASHY SAYS: What?

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Double Dragon: All cards that do damage, do twice the amount of damage.

BASHY SAYS: bumholes worth 20. Awesome. Why do you keep designing Domination cards so that there’s no purpose in getting scoops? Same as the other two ideas; this basically is “Who can be on at the very last second of Dom?”

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Use ‘m or lose ‘m: During the nightly rollover, all cards are removed.

BASHY SAYS: Good.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

King Unmaker: Every night during rollover, the character with the most scoops looses half their scoops at random.

BASHY SAYS: What did I say above about punishing people for getting scoops? You’re increasingly punishing anyone who’s ever spent time on your game, with this kind of design.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Raiders of the Lost forums. Klans are only awarded vanilla for pwning 24 forums simultaneously (instead of the normal 12).

BASHY SAYS: Well, since you already made raiding useless and nobody does it anymore, this may as well be called Flogging a Dead Horse Week.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Mbumive mutiny: Cards can only be used on yourself or klanmates

BASHY SAYS: Could be interesting, but rewards, as does the current bumhole, whoever has more clanmates in a bracket. Easily skirtable by swapping or dropping klans.

BINGEBOT 2015 Posted:

Pentathlon: No switcheroos, no MIs, min scoops gives two medals.

BASHY SAYS: Fine.

BASHY SAYS, IN SUMMARY This could make Dom more fun now that you ruined raiding. more trophies need to be invented, however. One for Most Damage and one for Most Raw Scoops Made would be good additions and balanced together. Variable card pricing (different cards cost different amounts, bumhole 5, modest 4, etc) is a good idea. I have lots of ideas. I tell it like it is.

Any idea that keeps bumholes overpowered and punishes people for getting scoops is stupid. Reward and incentivize instead.

Also, some weeks of Dom, offer a free BP for a certain category or something.

I have an idea. Why don’t you use your heads and think **** out before you do things, so you won’t have to have ten failed revisions before you get to something acceptable?

Your game may have hundreds of players, but like 75% of those are alts of Amasius, Mee, Scully, Ricket, etc. All they had to do in your game was to play Domination and raiding. Then, since a bunch of whiny ****es decided raiding was broken because they were losing (due ONLY to lack of effort; when they tried, they won) complained, you decided it needed… whatever the hell you call these changes. Now, and for the foreseeable future, nobody with a brain is going to raid. It takes 13 PERFECTLY cooperating accounts to raid decently, but just ONE or a couple to make raiding a waste of time through interruption. Did you think how easy it is to interrupt raids now, under this new structure? Probably not. Even though it’s your game, and I’ve been around little over a month.

I’d advise you stick to writing content, which is pretty good, and stay the **** away from gameplay mechanics. For that, listen to the players who are enthusiastic but don’t have some personal agenda to push. Whatever you do, don’t listen to yourselves. I think I’ve seen enough in my semi-interested month here to see what that leads to.

... but INCIT is the main reason I have an account here. You only need to type something for a few seconds for every 5 minutes of the game going on. It’s basically the perfect something to play while working. Even if it’s often really stupid and cheater-voted.

Acknowledging and admitting to a thing only after you’ve been publicly called on it is being honest and up front?

Oh yeah. I’m sure they were really trying hard to hide it, and all, selling four 20-Flezz bright yellow items in a row, sitting there on the front page of the auction house 4,000,000 Flezz. Who would have EVER thought people would notice?

Why toot your own horn if others will toot it for you?

You’re welcome to your opinion, as I said. And I’ve no doubt you’ll make it heard, post after post after post after post. So, whatever happens, happens. Personally, I’ll be hoping people in this game have a sense of humor and exploration rather than of whining and getting all emotional and accusatory on a REAL internet forum and in a way that’s not at all funny but is, in fact, sad and a good reason to get far, far away from here.

(( You can try to do funny and male reproductive organish stuff, but you’ll be punished for that. TUBSWEETIE abused a quest-item exploit and he got the Flezz E-Peen, which was removed a few days later. I don’t think it will be different now.

If you’re comparing this to what Ricket did, you’re nuts.

BidSquid Posted:

Also, if CZ didn’t mean someone to create BidSquid, they would’ve either removed the character or saved the name beforehand. Since none of these happened, I think they’re fine with it. ))

Nice logic. You won my argument for me, then. “If ET didn’t intend people to launder Flezz via the Auction House, they would’ve prevented it somehow.” Thanks. Now I don’t have to waste any more time here.

I can’t see anything nice or virtuous in impersonating an in-game character, but apparently you’re doing it for the ****s and giggles and, you know, just to do it.

I can’t see anything nice or virtuous about piling onto Ricket for… being honest and upfront about what was done. And I can’t see any point in anyone trying to explain to you what you apparently refuse to read in Ricket’s posts. There’s a big difference between people acknowledging something is abusable (not a “bug,” just a system that needs tweaking) and pulling off a feat that tests and demonstrates the bounds of it, with a “just for ****s and giggles” goal in mind.

You’re welcome to your opinion. And everyone is welcome to judge. But trying to nitpick someone’s opinion of what’s a fun or worthwhile bit of “lulz” to do within a game about trolling internet forums and trying to “dominate” everyone else, I sort of question your ability to define for anyone how they’re supposed to be playing a game.

All that’s accomplished by treating people who are open and honest about what they’ve done in this way is to encourage them to lie, cheat and steal when something can be abused. That, and trying to dictate what BEHAVIOR is acceptable in this particular game, is only going to serve to ruin the experience of playing a game based on a brutal, anything-goes, pancake-bunny-with-your-address-on-it sort of spirit.

If you want to play a game in which nobody can try to do something funny and a little male reproductive organish to make a point, go play Buffy the Vampire Slayer the Card Game. Me, I’ll appreciate this game for what it currently is. For as long as it lasts.

Everybody knows I’d look handsome in a headset, like having big black robot… ‘peen in front of my mouth.

I love you, Ricket. I wish you all the robot male reproductive organes in the world. My love is forever yours and my body is your shield, to give me reason to press myself up against your supple flesh.

Please, if any harm is to be done to Ricket for what really seemed like a funny thing with a good point, let it come to me instead! There had been no rules, no guidelines! Are we not all to blame for buying from an anthropomorphic squid? Are we not all to blame for desire? Oh vanity, thy name is Kyoubai!
